Summer Wrap Up: Part I. TOM HARDY

Part I.TOM HARDY
Birthdate: September 15, 1977
Nationality: British

British films have
always been one of the best encounters over the years, and this summer all the
way through spring an array of films were released. Top of the list and the
most popular title is the show runner, double trouble, and master-class
performance by Tom Hardy in LEGEND (2015).

7/10

Legend tells the true
story of two twin brothers one with wit and charms the other with schizophrenia
and lots of brotherly love, a film that delivers on many levels, emotionally
binding, gory at times and brutally explicit at others. Director Brian Helgeland follows up his triumph
in baseball based movie 42 (2013),
with something way more aggressive, with Emily Browning narrating and guiding
us through Legend, it is poetic at times and grindhouse madness at others. This
film sort of strikes memory to Guy
Ritchie films such as Rock N Rolla
(2008) and Snatch (2000).

However, Legend might feel a bit blasted out
of proportion in its portrayal of the two brothers. Therefore, if you have the
time and enjoy low key films you rather get your hands on the other film about
the same subject titled The RISE of the
KRAYS (2015), works as a prequel to Legend and the actual rise of Ron and
Reggie, this film is not very highly rated and also has a planned sequel The Fall of the Krays (2015). While the
two brothers spar with one another and go head to head with other gangs around
London in both films, they stay slightly below the hype and glamour of Legend.

7/10

This might be Tom Hardy’s finest
moment since his rise in BRONSON (2008)
and back breaking role in Dark Knight
Rises (2012) all the way to his amazing thrill ride in LOCKE (2013). The Drop (2014)
was yet another momentum film experience with Tom Hardy at the helm of it alongside Noomi Rapace, the magnitude of the drop is the thin line between
friendship and neighborly trust and the impact of crime life on the apparently
calm society, this film could easily have been titled about a dog. If cold
sights are intriguing enough for you as a spectator, Hardy finds himself once
again entangled underneath the snow but this time in a time piece based on the
book of the same title Child 44 (2015)
in this World War film Tom teams up
with Noomi Rapace once again while he
plays a disgraced Soviet Soldier in the Stalin era investigating a series of
child murders. This film plays like a slow paced piece of classical music with
a crescendo worth waiting for.
